Henry, the humanoid robot powered by Salesforce's generative AI software, greeted thousands of Dreamforce attendees during the annual conference this week.
State of play: The 3-foot-tall robotic guide is designed to assist people at company events, answering questions and entertaining onlookers with playful gestures and a British accent.
The big picture: The effort to move generative AI into "agents" that can take action on their own is seen as the next big shift for the industry.
The intrigue: Though still in testing, the company aims to deploy its physical AI agent in service and support roles, with the hope it can eventually take on jobs in retail, offices or customer service kiosks.
